Researchers at IBM Research Alamaden have developed a new approach to measuring the magnetic field of individual atoms that for the first time gives scientists the ability to put the sensor exactly next to the atom they want to measure, providing them with a strong and direct signal of the magnetic field. The energy resolution […]
Student design competition supported by MTT-11 and MTT-9. For details, see: http://ims2017.org/technical-program/competitions/student-design The instructions can be downloaded here. Abstract: New nonlinear characterization instruments associated with advanced digital signal processing algorithms turned digital predistortion, DPD, into the distortion cancellation method of choice to relax the linearity-efficiency compromise of wireless systems. Soon after its dawn, about some […]
DARPA’s “Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration” Revolution The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s DAHI (Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration) continues to push the limits in on-chip integration, new materials, and improved silicon and gallium nitride technology to address critical challenges for next-generation microwave and millimeter-wave systems. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Candidates for MTT-S Leadership The MTT-S Nominations […]
As the premier student event within IEEE Region 6, the Rising Stars conference brings together the most promising students and young professionals from within the region to network and be inspired, by each other and the top tech companies from around the world. The concept of Rising Stars is beyond the framework of a conference. […]
IEEE’s 5G wireless initiative has the goal of serving many more users with much higher transmission speeds. But with the existing cellular bands tightly packed, where does all the required additional network capacity come from? In contrast with the traditional radio-spectrum management view of scarce capacity, where a finite amount of spectrum must be divided […]
Controversial Satellite-Messaging Startup Higher Ground Cleared for Takeoff In the face of industry opposition, U.S. regulators have okayed a smartphone accessory that uses microwaves to send text messages and email via geostationary satellites. Up to 50,000 Higher Ground SatPaq could be deployed in the U.S., promising cheap, reliable messaging far from cellphone towers. Some telecom […]
The Hubble Space Telescope might not make it to 2030. Currently operating 12 years beyond its original 15-year lifespan, Hubble’s science operations are slated to end in 2021. A proposed servicing mission could keep the beloved space telescope running even longer, but eventually, the era of Hubble will come to an end. Fortunately, a number […]
To make it easier for factories to integrate new wireless technologies, U.S. federal government employees took it upon themselves to measure the performance of radiofrequency signals in three factory settings: an auto transmission assembly facility, a steam generation plant, and a small machine shop. They recently published their results as part of an ongoing $5.75 […]
In the face of concerted industry opposition, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has given the go-ahead for a controversial smartphone accessory that uses microwaves to send text messages and email via geostationary satellites. Startup Higher Ground now has permission to deploy up to 50,000 SatPaq devices across the United States, promising isolated communities, hikers, and […]
The IEEE and MTT-S Young Professionals event at the 11th IEEE Radio and Wireless Week (RWW 2017), which concluded on 16th January 2017, was a great success. The workshop was an excellent platform for sharing knowledge among the wireless community. Young professionals from all over the Phoenix area took part in this workshop, giving them […]
Researchers covet terahertz waves for their ability to deliver data wirelessly at rates as high as 100 gigabits per second. That’s an unbelievably fast rate to achieve over the air, especially when you consider that: a) the average U.S. broadband speed is 55 megabits per second; and b) broadband service is piped into homes on […]
MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT DYLAN WILLIAMS A Future of Inclusion and Engagement Out-going President Ke Wu and I share similar visions for the Society. This common ground has led to a close relationship in which I often found myself working to support Ke’s goals, something that I found extremely rewarding: a commitment to inclusiveness, a policy […]
The 17th IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF) takes place 16 – 18 January 2017 in Phoenix, AZ.SiRF meetings have been at the forefront of moving Silicon technologies into microwave and millimeter-wave applications. SiRF2017 will continue this trend, with a renewed emphasis on promoting a dialogue between ICdesigners and […]
IEEE’s core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. Often during presentations and talks all across IEEE events, we hear the famous tagline “Advancing Technology for Humanity”. This was indeed the force behind my volunteering and involvement with IEEE over past 8 years. As a graduate student, we intend […]
Are you succinct, clear and the one having a great idea? Then the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition ought to grab your attention. The Three Minute Thesis 3MT® competition, which started out in an academic context at The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia, in 2008 has garnered attention from the international community for its unique […]
